According to Daily Times (Pakistan), Jane Austen wrote Jane Eyre.
Jane Austen, a renowned English novelist would live in a countryside with people all around. But she used to remain aloof. She observed the lives of the people of her class and wrote about them when she was in solitude. She would write her novels in a small room. That solitary place sparked her imagination and she produced masterpieces like Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre and others which are still read with great interest and performed with great skill.

Brainerd Dispatch shares an 80-year-old advertisement:
80 years ago (1939)
(Adv.) Now showing at the Paramount Theatre, see “Wuthering Heights,” the classic Brontë novel now on screen. “I am Heathcliff. I married a woman I loathe . . . to spite the woman I love.” Starring Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier and David Niven. (Matt Erickson)
Texas Monthly features poet Ire'ne Lara Silva who
surrounded herself with science fiction novels and various works from the Brontë sisters, something her parents struggled to relate to—they were fluent Spanish speakers, but illiterate in both English and Spanish. It was easier to turn inward, she says, because of tensions between her parents and a childhood marked not only by a constant stream of arrivals and departures but by emotional and psychological abuse.

Etownian features Class of 1996 Elizabethtown College graduate Alison Labbate who
graduated with an English literature degree. When she was in college, she wasn’t sure what she was going to do with her degree, but her experiences at Etown helped her find a career path.
In particular, her work as a research assistant for former associate professor of English Dr. Maria Frawley on her [1996] book “Anne Brontë” led her to her current career.
“I was checking resources, proofreading, line editing and I loved working on that,” Labbate said. “I loved working on that so much, so when the internship came up, I took it.” (Samantha Seely)
